I have a pricelist, In my QUotation sheet i want to select the model number
from a drop down list and should get all other details regarding the
description, price etc filled automatically in the curresponding columns of
my quote sheet. How is this possible? When i type the first letter in the
model number column all the items starting with that letter should appear in
the drop down list ..Kindly guide..

Taka a look at data-validation. That will take care of the drop-down-
menu.
Then you could use the vlookup-function to fill in the corresponding
columns.

Per Erik

Note that DV lists have no autocomplete feature as you want.

You would need a CombobBox/DV method for that.

See Debra Dalgleish's site for instructions.

Try this. With your list sorted alphabetically enter an "A" at the
beginning of the A's, a "B" at the beginning of the B's, etc. to Z.

When you select your drop down cell, type in the letter you want but DO NOT
hit enter. Click the drop down arrow and your list will start with the
letter you entered.

You can hit enter after typing in the letter but then you will have to
re-select the drop down cell.
